It's a very beatable Scotland, even putting aside the domestic nature of the squad. Cummings out is the icing on the cake, but Johnson injured pushing Sione to 12, Jones injured and Thomson only just coming back meaning Ollie is rushed into starting at fullback, Darge and to a lesser extent Gordo being injured meaning Watson has not been put under pressure despite an underwhelming start to the season. And of course the utter failure of the SRU to properly develop Rae and McCallum means that the 36 year old Nel (as fabulous as he remains is still the only experienced backup to Zander.
Amusing how life, weather and a single additional injury just dampens the mood when I was optimistic about a squad I was 90ish% right about is named less than a week later.
